How will this work in the prequels?
There are three light side heros and four darksiders heros.
In the last phase will it simply be three vs four?
Same for the first order maps. Two darksider vs four or five light side heros.

For all Galactic Assault maps, era-appropriate heroes will have their Battle Point costs reduced by 50%, while non-era heroes will be unavailable.

Excellent. Honestly, this should be the standard. Cross-era content should be limited to game modes where it's appropriate like Hero Showdown, Heroes vs. Villains and Hero Starfighters. The thing is, for era specific content to work well across the remaining game modes, BFII needs more weapons, Heroes and Hero Ships from each era added.

So you all are really going to introduce this mode the first weekend that Dooku's released?

Agreed. Now that we get Dooku, we’ll only be able to play as him in 3 of the 12 galactic assault maps? But from the positive comments above, maybe I’m one of the few who doesn’t care at all about immersion and cross-era heroes at this point.

I think it's set up to fail with the timing. It's going to skew any feedback from comments or from any kind of metrics they use. People want the new hero after it's released. Look at all the feedback from yesterday regarding HvV taking forever to start because of people lobby hopping.

No map selector + New Hero that will have extremely limited availability in the main game mode is not a recipe for success.

I'm also interested to see what the spawn screen camping is going to be like when there are only 2 hero slots available.

I'm glad that it's here though, for those that have been waiting for it. Should be a fun and interesting weekend!

1. Dooku will be everyone's "go to" if they want a villain hero anyway...even if this was a normal weekend it would be rare to grab him in his introduction weekend.

2. You'd have better luck, regardless, playing HvV if you're anxious to just play Dooku. It will still be just as hard to grab him when the match starts but it won't be affected by Correct Eras event.

3. You know there's a Heroes Unleashed coming up soon (we've had THREE) where you can Dooku all weekend with double XP. But it's no different any weekend a Hero comes out...its the one single piece of new content they keep drip feeding this game with and ALL the Hero players will be obsessed with nabbing him and keeping him throughout the entire match.

Just dont want to see this event ruined because loud Hero players will blame the event on them not getting to play as Dooku. Cause dont worry...you can be The Count on Takodanna, Starkiller, Death Star and Yavin to your hearts content after this weekend (if you can beat the others to grabbing him...which will be a problem for a couple of weeks anyway).

If this became permanent I guarantee the player base would drop( although it already has considering most people play fortnite or PUBG over this already for reasons like this) why are you complaining about realism in an online shooter.

I’m not complaining about the realism (although it has always bugged me and will be ridiculous if you have Vader fighting Anakin!), I don’t play GA much because of all the Hero’s constantly dominating the field/objectives, restricting it to 2 is a positive step in my opinion and I will be playing it over the weekend.

I’m sure the same usually players will get the Hero’s first but at least it’ll make them play different ones and not just the usual GA dominating few.

Strangely I do enjoy the Hero’s unleashed event’s and would like more of them, which would help balance this IF it became permanent.

tbh i don't mind such era locked events as it will be a new 'immersive' gameplay experience as some would call it but shouldn't Heroes Unleashed or a Double XP Event be more appropriate to celebrate the launch of Count Dooku?

i mean if you are promoting him, you should not be in any way 'Restricting Content' or Access

its like spending money on advertisement on a new product to bring customers to your shop, only to turn down all the customers lining up in queue saying.. "eh sorry guys, it ain't for sale at this time. Go watch our advertisements instead"

lol i mean, the person behind this planning in DICE should do some self reflecting... timing seems rather Odd indeed

While I concede doing this the day after they released Dooku is terrible timing, I'm actually enjoying this a lot.

While the immersion is helping my enjoyment, that isn't even the best part. The objective play has been great, lobbies are balanced, and the final phase infantry actually matter, aside from being there for the 8 heroes to farm kills.

One change that is needed, give the FO Bossk and/ or Boba to give them a little bit of variety. Bossk never died, and Boba got out of the Sarlaac.

I'd love for this to stay and heroes unleashed being added for those who want cross era.

Just finished playing about eight maps and I gotta say it was quite enjoyable and different. It’s very nice to see era correct heroes on the matching maps. Makes for not always getting Palp’d or Rey’d to death on every game as well.

I only played PT and OT maps in the rotation I was in, but counted 4-6 heroes elig on most eras for each side. I understand now why the four heroes at phase 3 or 4 were omitted.. at least until Anakin is delivered. Gotta say.. I enjoyed it much better. Really changed the strategy on choke point maps.
